Model: This model is completely new tooling. The running gear with the main frame and the rail bus body are constructed of metal. There are many separately applied brass parts or separately applied metal parts such as grab irons, metal signs, windshield wipers, etc. A DCC digital decoder with extensive sound functions such as speed-dependent running sounds, a rail bus whistle, a conductor's whistle is included. There is also a history of the prototype and much more. The unit can be operated with AC current, DC current, Märklin Digital, and MFX. There is a high-performance motor in each half of the rail bus and both axles are powered. There is also a built-in buffer capacitor with the ability to set parameters. Warm white / red LED headlights and marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The instrument lighting can be controlled. There are multiple station stop announcements with a prototypical route that varies with the model. Servomotors can open the doors. The interior lighting can be controlled. Interior details are prototypical and highly detailed. Cab 1 has a built-in figure of an engineer.
